Over Dennis Vriens
I (1981) am an experienced allround academic nuclear medicine physician and researcher in molecular imaging.
My main clinical areas of special expertise are: thyroid cancer and other endocrine tumours (diagnostics, therapy using iodine-131), neuro-endocrine oncology (diagnostics), head & neck cancer (diagnostics) and prostate cancer (diagnostics including PSMA PET-CT, therapeutics including radium-223 [Xofigo], samarium-153 [Quadramet] and strontium-89 [Metastron]).
My research theme is entitled 'Therapy Outcome Prediction in Molecular Imaging'. My main research areas of special expertise are: quantitative nuclear medicine (PET and SPECT), health technology assessment (HTA), molecular imaging biomarkers, image processing and analysis, multimodality imaging of tumours, thyroid diseases, metabolic bone diseases, technological innovations. My PhD project’s topic was quantitative PET-CT in solid tumours.
I teach nuclear medicine and molecular imaging and related technologies (gamma camera, SPECT-CT, PET-CT) on a regular basis and am regular reviewer for Journals in my field.
